ok, ok. So its GII. So where do we go from here? Apart from using the name
with "reckless abandon", how do we make real change happen? And what do we
want? Is there an "initiative"? or is invoking the name of the goddess enough?
As a government guy in Canada, I'm ready to get involved and do my bit. Or is
this something for governments to do? (it's not "International" to get rid of
the notion of governments/nations remember?)
